Gene: COL4A5
Official Full Name: collagen type IV alpha 5 chainprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes one of the six subunits of type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked Alport syndrome, also known as hereditary nephritis. Like the other members of the type IV collagen gene family, this gene is organized in a head-to-head conformation with another type IV collagen gene so that each gene pair shares a common promoter. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

COL4A5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines that have been specifically modified to disrupt the COL4A5 gene, which encodes a critical component of type IV collagen. This protein plays a vital role in the structural integrity of basement membranes, influencing various physiological functions, including filtration in the kidneys and structural support in tissues. The knockout of COL4A5 enables researchers to study the gene's contributions to diseases such as Alport syndrome, a hereditary condition characterized by kidney disease, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities.
The primary mechanism underlying COL4A5 gene knockout involves targeted genomic editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9 or homologous recombination, which allow precise alterations in the genetic material. By eliminating the expression of the COL4A5 gene, these cell lines provide a powerful tool for dissecting the molecular pathways influenced by its absence, facilitating investigations into the biological consequences of COL4A5 deficiency and candidate therapeutic interventions.
The scientific importance of COL4A5 gene knockout cell lines extends to both basic and applied research. In the context of kidney disease research, these cell lines enable a better understanding of disease mechanisms and the testing of novel therapies and drugs aimed at restoring function or alleviating symptoms. Moreover, they serve as invaluable models for screening compounds with potential protective effects on kidney function, thereby advancing the development of targeted treatments.
One of the unique selling points of our COL4A5 gene knockout cell lines is their high level of specificity and validation, ensuring reproducible results and reliable data. Unlike alternative models, our cell lines are extensively characterized and available in multiple formats to suit diverse experimental needs, providing greater flexibility for researchers.
